HOW TO USE

TECHNICAL DATA

WARNING

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may diff er. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

ROTARY HAMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a „live“ wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool „live“ and could give the operator an electric shock.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the machine. The use of protective clothing is recommended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet and ear defenders. The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health. Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask. Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g. asbestos). Switch the device off immediately if the insertion tool stalls! Do not switch the device on again while the insertion tool is stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions. The possible causes may be:

•  it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
•  it has pierced through the material to be machined
•  the power tool is overloaded

Do not reach into the machine while it is running. The insertion tool may become hot during use.
WARNING! Danger of burns

•  when changing tools
•  when setting the device down

Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running. When working in walls ceiling, or floor, take care to avoid electric cables and gas or waterpipes. Clamp your workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage. Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the machine. Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by burning them. Milwaukee Distributors off er to retrieve old batteries to protect our environment. Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit risk). Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems. Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times. Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical attention. Warning! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to fl ow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

The battery rotary pneumatic hammer may be used for hammer drilling and drilling in wood, metal as well as plastic for independent use away from mains supply.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.

RESIDUAL RISK

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:

•  Injury caused by vibration.
  Hold the product by designated handles and restrict working time and exposure.

•  Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury.
  Wear ear protection and limit exposure.

•  Injury due to flying debris
  Wear eye protection, heavy long trousers, gloves and substantial footwear at all times.

•  Inhalation of toxic dust.

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES

Use of Li-Ion batteries
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be recharged before use. Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating). The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean. For an optimum lifetime, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after used. To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged. For battery pack storage longer than 30 days: Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from moisture Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.

Battery protection for Li-Ion Akkus
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will fl ash, and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger. Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge will fl ash until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go off, the work may continue.
Transport of Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local, national and international provisions and regulations.

•  The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
•  Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.

When transporting batteries:

• Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent short circuit.
• Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within packaging.
• Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak. Check with forwarding company for further advice

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

Do not force too much when drilling or hammering. Let the rotary hammer do the work for you.

WORK WHEN IT’S COLD

If the tool is stored for a long period of time or at cold temperatures, the lubrication may become stiff and the tool may not working initially or the working may be weak. If this happens:

1.  Insert a bit or chisel into the tool.
2.  Run the tool against a scrap piece of concrete.
3.  Pull and release the trigger every few seconds.

After 15 seconds to 2 minutes, the tool will start hammering normally. The colder the tool is, the longer it will take to warm up.

CLEANING

The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.

MAINTENANCE

Important note! If the carbon brushes are worn, in addition to exchanging the brushes the tool should be sent to after-sales service. This will ensure long service life and top performance. Use only Milwaukee accessories and Milwaukee spare parts. Should components need to be replaced which have not been described, please contact one of our Milwaukee service agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses). If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please state the machine type printed as well as the six-digit No. on the label and order the drawing at your local service agents or directly at: Techtronic Industries GmbH, Max-Eyth-Straße 10, 71364 Winnenden, Germany.
